How do you counter singed?

After being in a match with singed + Olaf i honestly cannot understand how Singed is even allowed on this map. Olaf was bad, but at least killable. Singed did almost as much damage and you couldn't even drop him below 50% with a full combo. The enemy team even had an Ashe that DC'ed from the start and still won by a landslide. As Syndra, I built all the MP and MR I could get my hands on and it made negligible difference.

What champions did your teammates pick? What summoner spells are you all using? What boots did you pick?

-If you were all squish champs, you'll be dominated every time. Syndra is great but an extremely squish champion. She's not hard to kill. You need bruisers to go along with your Syndra. Since Syndra is also a ranged champ, you'll obviously need two bruisers with you. One squish with two bruisers is always a nice combo for TT.

-Use an ignite and exhaust combo on Singed. Don't ever target singed first in a team fight, in fact, target him last. Once you down the other two champs on his team, exhaust and ignite him. It helps a LOT if you have a ranged champ on your team with a slow. Singed without speed is completely worthless.

-If you're taking damage from him, and too much damage from magic in general, buy Merc boots. Always. Remember that too much MR can be bad. You need to balance your armor/magic resist out with your damage. Damage it still needed.

I'm wondering, could Galio be good counter for Singed. Galio can't do anything to Singed, but Singed can't do anything to Galio as well (Galio's shield > poison). They both push very fast, so pretty much it comes to which hero is more useful in team fights. And I dare to say, Galio is. Especially, that his slow, taunt on Singed and speed buff, shield on allies can save them from a lot of poison damage.

It always makes me smile seeing people not remebering that HARD CC counters all champions. I recommend trying out Nautilis/Cho'gath/Ryze/Morgana. All 4 of these champions can potentially shut him down easily.

Nautilis
-Q CC
-W CC
-E CC
-R CC

Naut I suspect is the only champion to date that has CC moves for every spell he learns.
